[uml-user] looking for network-ready fedora 8 kernel and root fs

[Robert P. J. D. <rp...@cr...>]

  as the next step in my UML recipe for fedora, i want to demonstrate
how to set up simple networking.  and to keep things simple, i'd
prefer to use a pre-built kernel and root filesystem -- actually
configuring and building those things will come later.

  so where can i find those two objects?  as i understand it, for me
to set up networking, either the kernel or the root filesystem has to
have networking capability.  for example, consider the recipe here:

  http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/network.html

note how the instructions for the UML guest involve doing a modprobe,
which implies that the root filesystem has to have some modules, but
the root filesystem that's available at that site doesn't have any
modules.  ergo, i can't use it for my example -- does that make sense?

  in short, can someone give me a pointer to a combo of kernel and
root fs for which networking is ready to go?  all of the examples i've
tried so far don't work.
